This is total speculation, but maybe it’s just a log jam? Demand is down. Supply is still rolling in because of planning and long supply chains. Stores are closed. It’s not like they can ship some of this stuff off to their Nordstrom Rack locations. What do you want them to do, build a ton of garden sheds in the (unused) parking lots?

Nordy is temporarily taking an extra 25% off what the prices were, so, prices are now marked as such online. I don’t know when the extra 25% off ends. Eye poppin’ prices. That’s what these are. And as always, everything ships and returns for free.

Helllooooo Nurse. Sure, shoe snobs like to rip on TBNY for their relatively high retail price, but for $120? They’re made in Italy, I believe they’re blake stitched, and probably a little sleeker than the Park Ave from Allen Edmonds. Sleek but still professional.

Is there such a thing as future-chic-minimalism? If there is, I’m probably not the clod to start knighting products as such. (I dub thee… Sir Sneaker, Thane of Future-Chic-Minimalism-land.) Still though, these probably fit that bill.

This looks highly, highly similar to a wool blend Good Man Brand sportcoat that I own. Is it a little boxy? Yeah a little. Do I wear it all the time? Yes. I wear it all the time. I love it. 59% wool, 27% nylon, 14% viscose.

Was just going for $180. Now, an extra $90 off. Something for the spring and summer months. 52% wool, 34% lyocell, 8% cotton, 6% linen. Trim Fit here, so, hopefully you can get away with not having it tailored? Just half-lined in the back, which is great for warmer weather.

In the face of all the high-tech puffers, Barbour keeps making their heritage, quilted, not so puffy outerwear. And that’s more than just fine. Limited sizes here. Getting close-ish to sold out at post time.

Good Man makes really nice stuff. They seem like they’re about half way between J. Crew’s Wallace & Barnes Brand, and Todd Snyder. If that makes any sense. Apologies if it doesn’t. So while $30 isn’t dirt cheap for a henley, it is about the bottom for GMB.

Sleek. Oddly comfortable. Made in China but doesn’t look, feel, or smell cheap. A bit of subtle grip on the sole too, so you’ll stay upright on carpet/wet sidewalks. There is a chisel toe, so, traditionalists beware. A size 10.5 fit my normally 10.5D feet out of the box extremely well.

*Beep Bop Boop*aren’t I cute? I scan your face when you sleep, so one day when I murder you, I can perfectly preserve your skin and wear your face over my own in order to ingratiate myself to other “fleshies.”*Boop Beep Bop*

It’s not a Nordstrom Sale Party until these things show up. Death, taxes, and these blue accented Cole Haan chukkas get marked down. Here we are again… again. Very, very well reviewed. Storm welt. Blue panels at the top and grip on the sole.

The Extra 25% off sale items blowout (prices are marked online) ends… well, I don’t know when it ends. Probably sooner rather than later though.
